The Office of Inspector General (OIG) is a neutral third-party role designed to evaluate WAX Guild Candidates' contribution to the ecosystem and provide ongoing transparency for the community.

The OIG is designed as a committee of 3 IGs, that work out a transparent and heuristic framework to evaluate all WAX guilds in a fair manner and improve the network’s quality, security and competitiveness.

Evaluation Process

Guilds will be evaluated on a regular basis on the criteria below. The committee will publish the cutoff date for rating Guilds each evaluation cycle. Guilds will submit their update and appeals to Github in plain text with links to data/screenshots. Confidential information can be submitted via email, but requires to be noted in the public update. Publishing an update with non-confidential information is mandatory if you want the OIG to evaluate your confidential sections.

The criteria will consist of line items in a range of categories with various point ranges. The committee believes this will make it easier to evaluate Guilds fairly.

The OIG does, however, have to rely on the reported information to be accurate. Points credited under false pretense due to wrong information being submitted or important changes not being communicated may result in a penalty. Submission of inaccurate information during reports or appeals where the OIG has to assume the goal is to scrounge evaluation scores may also result in a penalty. This includes, but does not conclude with: The misrepresentation of development efforts, development progress, purported collaborations or partnerships, knowingly boasting the significance of a product based on false claims, fakery of infrastructure availability or performance.
